For the past two years Lone Eagle Consulting has been
working with the Montana Choice Ecommerce Demonstration project for the
U.S. Department of Labor. We’ve delivered over 50 presentations and
workshops in rural communities on Rural Ecommerce and Telework Strategies.
We’ve given rural Montanans the choice to preserve their cherished rural
lifestyles by providing them with entry-level Ecommerce instruction
specifically for rural citizens. We’ve developed a process and resources for
rural communities to use to raise local ecommerce awareness. During the past
two years we’ve seen our program dramatically validated by global trends and
success stories. More at
